Today is Pratipada of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month, with the Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra. It is observed as Chaitra Navratri begins. Rahu Kaal: 10:48 am–12:23 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 11:57 am to 12:48 pm. The answers below are calculated for Delhi, Delhi and refresh every day.
On Friday, 8 April 2016, the tithi in Delhi is Pratipada, from 04:54 pm (prev day) to 01:06 pm, followed by Dwitiya, from 01:06 pm to 09:23 am (next day). It falls in Shukla Paksha of Chaitra (Amanta) / Chaitra (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Ashwini, from 02:21 am to 11:22 pm, then Bharani, from 11:22 pm to 08:34 pm (next day) on Friday, 8 April 2016 in Delhi. The Moon is in Aries and the Sun in Pisces.
Rahu Kaal in Delhi today (Friday) runs from 10:48 am to 12:23 pm. It is a period of about 90 minutes that is traditionally avoided for starting new ventures; its timing depends on the weekday and on local sunrise and sunset, so it differs from city to city.
In Delhi on Friday, 8 April 2016, sunrise is at 06:02 am and sunset at 06:43 pm; moonrise is at 06:42 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Delhi today is from 11:57 am to 12:48 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Labh 07:38 am–09:13 am; Amrit 09:13 am–10:48 am; Shubh 12:23 pm–01:58 pm. Choghadiya divides the day and the night into eight parts each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the auspicious ones.
The Panchang is computed for the exact coordinates of Delhi (28.61°N, 77.21°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Delhi's local time.
“Panchang” means “five limbs”: tithi (lunar day), vaar (weekday), nakshatra (the lunar mansion the Moon occupies), yoga (a Sun–Moon angular combination) and karana (half of a tithi). Together with Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat and choghadiya, they are used to choose favourable times for prayers, travel and new beginnings.
